Bathrooms and kitchens in Walmer
Walmer is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like The Downs Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

About our bathroom resealing in Walmer
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
Smaller places like Walmer still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Common problems we fix in Walmer
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
If you let a flat or house near Walmer station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walmer
Landlords and agents in Walmer can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
For anyone letting property in or around Walmer, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a smaller place like Walmer, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

Walmer questions
Do you work in hotels near Walmer?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Walmer station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Walmer, along with the rest of our area.
